I dont think people grasp that he doesnt really care about tesla anymore, his shareholders are having a stroke, but he personally, has other sources of wealth that are more important to his megalomania now, namely starlink and spacex, and all the government subsidies that come from them.
at the end of the day, tesla is just a car company, and when you're a megalomaniac trying to design the entire world to your liking, thats small fry stuff
That's why we need to elect someone who will get the ball rolling on jailing Musk.
Yes, the new version of "nobility" that doesn't want to pay taxes. They make a company and then get government handouts.
well, sort of. see, the way money works at that scale, everything is about leveraging stuff.
and a lot of his stuff is leveraged off tesla stock. so it won't kill him, but it will at least make an example of him, and be a substantial hit to his assets. like, change the way he lives hit to his income.
edit: assuming the banks don't just slobber all over his dick giving him a pass and free money. which they may.
Not to trow sand in the gears, but let's wait until the numbers after the launch of the new model Y comes in. Some buyers might waiting for that one.
Quick, somebody tell him that changing models from X to Y makes the cars trans.
Why? Are they eager to have their car set on fire?
Nobody should be buying a Tesla in 2025. It literally funds Nazis.
OP is right, not everyone pays much attention to whatโs going on, or doesnโt think much of it from their information sphere.
That being said, I wouldnโt expect good sales either.
Lots of other car manufacturers also have new models on the market in 2025.
Some buyers might want to get those.
In canada they banned competition for no reason... It has to come from the imperial core and vassal states or it's illegal
The EV market is crashing. If you exclude Tesla from the figures, the EV market is up 13%.
I find it funny how Europeans have organised a more cohesive anti trump movement than Americans have. Truly no county has more of a boot lickjng culture than the "land of the free"
I say this as an American.
You're all better than us, a lot of people here voted for the Trump, and most of us are so successfully deluded by oligarch propaganda that many blame our powerless, homeless neighbors that we abandoned and betrayed for what the owners inflict on us.
We are gaslit beyond all hope. We can't even agree as a society that our children should be fed, and this madness of greed and demented levels of toxic individualism didn't start with Trump. It boggles my mind that people have actually wanted to immigrate here in my 40 years living inside this cesspool, only good at being an exporter of death and state mandated avarice.
Unless you're wealthy, or are sociopathic enough to become so because sociopathy is what we reward, this is a garbage place of largely garbage people. Most here would rather burn ourselves and the world than disempower our capitalists, as that would be "socialism," a word our captured government rebranded as a boogieman and that, by design, most Americans couldn't actually define with access to one of our underfunded libraries and a gun to their head.
While I agree with you, don't forget we don't have him as our leader with his gangster powers to make you disappear. Easier to call him out at that point.
I appreciate the comment, we made our bed when a gun wasn't to our head. Twice.
And I'll argue to the end of the world that Reagan did more harm to this country and the world than Trump can ever hope to. You don't get to Trump without the Economic betrayal, getting the people's opposition party permanently on the oligarch take, and the war on science/knowledge/facts/education that get in the way of short term private profit without the Reagan/Welch revolution, that infected Europe too sadly, notably cooperation of message with that bitch Thatcher. The UK is basically a little Forward Operating Base for our greed disease and conversion of nation states into exploiters of their people now.
Trump is just the latest rot of the corpse of the shitty nation Reagan killed. He just isn't remembered that way because feigned statesmanship as he sold us off piece by piece and set this slow coup in motion.
Don't. Give. Your. Economic. Elite. A. Single. Centimeter. It's too late for us, but you can be saaaaaaaaaaaaaved.
Your post has been removed for promoting violence /s
Excellent. Fuck Musk and all his companies. Biggest leech on the planet. He didnโt make his money, he stole it.
He did. But he stole it from the US government / tax payers. Every president since Obama has fallen over themselves to pour tax payer money into his arsehole. And he is living the high life because of it. This is literally what the US wants. They love subsidising this bitch.
Hey UK!
Can we just try not to be last for once, please?
One of the issues with these percentage stats is that we were not as big of purchasers of Tesla as the rest of Europe so it's going to be harder for us to have as large of drops.
If you look, France has dropped that much just to catch up with us.
Even before the others dropped you were 3rd most out of 8.
Now you're 1st most.
Being last is what we do best
I'm doing my part. I can't afford a Swasticar anyway.
I can afford a bunch of Nazi stickers, though!
These guys want to be like Russia and other 'strong men' led countries so bad, let them have a Russian economy, and the same worldwide product 'dominance' as Russia too.
Damn, dude! The Lada was shit, but it wasn't a Tesla!
what do these percentages mean? is that stock value?
For most countries that are the percentages the numbers of new car registrations by brand went down compared to same month last year.
As these are published monthly by the respective countries we can get a glimpse at the new car sales for each brand. In Germany for example in February 25 there were 76% less new car registrations Tesla compared to February 24. Meaning there were 76% less new Tesla sold than a year before.
Probably sales from the looks of the numbers, which is way more important.
Itโs a bit dramatic though, as much of the drop is from competition.
This is the best way to strike back against Musk.
Hit his pocketbook. Tank his net worth.
Tank his net worth.
It's not just his personal worth. Twitter purchase was/is largely dependent on Tesla stock. So he's not only losing his own credit and should the trend continue some big players in investment business won't be happy either. He has been an useful idiot on raising the stock prices, but he is very much sacrificial if the things go too far. I don't know why he hasn't been replaced already, but the trend in US of A seems to be that you can do whatever stupid shit you can come up with and keep doing that without consequences. So maybe the big players are still benefiting from what he and the other guy are doing.
Good. I hope he's angry about it. It would make me very happy.
He is. And sad. But he says he doesn't understand where this hate comes from. Real genius, that guy.
I still find it hilarious that he supposedly has a 165 IQ when everytime he opens his mouth he sounds so unintelligent and stumbles over words and uses meme language. I have never heard that man say a single intelligent thing in all the time I have known of his existence.
I wonder what Chinese bloke he hired to take his IQ test for him.
The potential side effects of ketamine include dissociative experiences that may lead to confusion or impaired motor coordination, cognitive disturbances, and, with repeated misuse, the risk of developing a substance use disorder.
Anna needs to learn the difference between a total and an average
I know what you saying but the average would be adding those percentages together and dividing by the number of countries listed, which is -44.7% and is not getting the total sales for each year across all countries and get that -47.7% shown as total and is a more meaningful number because those markets are different sizes
Swasticar becoming unpopular. About time.
UK, what are you doing
We never got rid of lead water service pipes to existing houses and have a fetish for old properties. A cautionary tale really.
